necessary for drawing a menu item.</p>
<p>QStyleOptionMenuItem contains all the information that <a href="qstyle.html">QStyle</a> functions need to draw the menu items from
<a href="qmenu.html">QMenu</a>. It is also used for drawing other
menu-related widgets.</p>
<p>For performance reasons, the access to the member variables is
direct (i.e., using the <tt>.</tt> or <tt>-&gt;</tt> operator).
This low-level feel makes the structures straightforward to use and
emphasizes that these are simply parameters used by the style
functions.</p>
<p>For an example demonstrating how style options can be used, see
the <a href="widgets-styles.html">Styles</a> example.</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="CheckType-enum" />QStyleOptionMenuItem.CheckType</h3><p>This enum is used to indicate whether or not a check mark should
be drawn for the item, or even if it should be drawn at all.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="StyleOptionType-enum" />QStyleOptionMenuItem.StyleOptionType</h3><p>This enum is used to hold information about the type of the
style option, and is defined for each <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a> subclass.</p>

<p>The type is used internally by <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a>, its subclasses, and <a href="qstyleoption.html#qstyleoption_cast">qstyleoption_cast</a>() to
determine the type of style option. In general you do not need to
worry about this unless you want to create your own <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a> subclass and your own
styles.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#StyleOptionVersion-enum">StyleOptionVersion</a>.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="StyleOptionVersion-enum" />QStyleOptionMenuItem.StyleOptionVersion</h3><p>This enum is used to hold information about the version of the
style option, and is defined for each <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a> subclass.</p>

<p>The version is used by <a href="qstyleoption.html">QStyleOption</a> subclasses to implement
extensions without breaking compatibility. If you use <a href="qstyleoption.html#qstyleoption_cast">qstyleoption_cast</a>(), you
normally do not need to check it.</p>

<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="QStyleOptionMenuItem" />QStyleOptionMenuItem.__init__ (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Constructs a <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html">QStyleOptionMenuItem</a>, initializing
the members variables to their default values.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="QStyleOptionMenuItem-2" />QStyleOptionMenuItem.__init__ (<i>self</i>, <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html">QStyleOptionMenuItem</a>&#160;<i>other</i>)</h3><p>Constructs a copy of the <i>other</i> style option.</p>
<hr /><h2>Member Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="checked-var" />bool checked</h3><p>This variable holds whether the menu item is checked or not.</p>
<p>The default value is false.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="checkType-var" /><a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#CheckType-enum">CheckType</a> checkType</h3><p>This variable holds the type of checkmark of the menu item.</p>
<p>The default value is <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#CheckType-enum">NotCheckable</a>.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#CheckType-enum">CheckType</a>.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="font-var" /><a href="qfont.html">QFont</a> font</h3><p>This variable holds the font used for the menu item text.</p>
<p>This is the font that should be used for drawing the menu text
minus the shortcut. The shortcut is usually drawn using the
painter's font. By default, the application's default font is
used.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="icon-var" /><a href="qicon.html">QIcon</a> icon</h3><p>This variable holds the icon for the menu item.</p>
<p>The default value is an empty icon, i.e. an icon with neither a
pixmap nor a filename.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="maxIconWidth-var" />int maxIconWidth</h3><p>This variable holds the maximum icon width for the icon in the
menu item.</p>
<p>This can be used for drawing the icon into the correct place or
properly aligning items. The variable must be set regardless of
whether or not the menu item has an icon. The default value is
0.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="menuHasCheckableItems-var" />bool menuHasCheckableItems</h3><p>This variable holds whether the menu as a whole has checkable
items or not.</p>
<p>The default value is true.</p>
<p>If this option is set to false, then the menu has no checkable
items. This makes it possible for GUI styles to save some
horizontal space that would normally be used for the check
column.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="menuItemType-var" /><a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#MenuItemType-enum">MenuItemType</a> menuItemType</h3><p>This variable holds the type of menu item.</p>
<p>The default value is <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#MenuItemType-enum">Normal</a>.</p>
<p><b>See also</b> <a href="qstyleoptionmenuitem.html#MenuItemType-enum">MenuItemType</a>.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="menuRect-var" /><a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> menuRect</h3><p>This variable holds the rectangle for the entire menu.</p>
<p>The default value is a null rectangle, i.e. a rectangle with
both the width and the height set to 0.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="tabWidth-var" />int tabWidth</h3><p>This variable holds the tab width for the menu item.</p>
<p>The tab width is the distance between the text of the menu item
and the shortcut. The default value is 0.</p>


<h3 class="fn"><a name="text-var" />QString text</h3><p>This variable holds the text for the menu item.</p>
<p>Note that the text format is something like this "Menu
text<b>\t</b>Shortcut".</p>
<p>If the menu item doesn't have a shortcut, it will just contain
the menu item's text. The default value is an empty string.</p>
